#9 Equality for all Birth Orders

why is it that all siblings who are created equally,

are not treated equally??

i recently did a survey of some of my friends

and we all seem to have the same dilema.

for some strange reason the sibling who was the more responsible , 

the one who always did the correct if not the right 

thing, the one who was always counted on to help, or defend or 

clean up the mess that someone else made, 

(and not necessarily the first born)

is often the one who gets the most grief or is chastised the most if god-forbid

she/he does something the slightest bit 

different from their so called character.

sometimes i am just stunned at the behavior of various other siblings,

yours, mine, ours and theirs, 

(everyone who has one or more)

and one would just bet a word of warning would befall them....

and you wait and wait and all you hear 

is sorrow or forgiveness toward them,

and you wonder what the heck is wrong with the world???!!!

and then you make the mistake of saying, 

--hey didn't you hear that, or hey didn't you see that,

and nobody did.

or you might even say the dreaded, i told you so.....

or what's wrong with them? what was he/she thinking???

and then they look at you as if to say, what's wrong with you,

you shouldn't criticize,  the poor thing just can't help it...

all the while you can see the guilty party smiling

the Cheshire cat smile, 

because now all the attention is focused on someone elses 

behavior and not on them.

*so i am starting up a non-responsible sibling group. 

one that ignores all the craziness thrown at them 

or around them by various family members.

from now own,

 

 

 

 

 

we see no evil and hear no evil and speak no evil,

and hopefully some of the responsibility dust will rub off on all the siblings.

and the burden of the responsible sibling will be shared by all,

and we will still be able to finish last as is expected of all good guys.
